Even if you don't love the idea of robots taking your job or dominating the human race forever, you'd probably like a robot to help with your daily tasks. LG's three new robots do just that: one's made specifically to carry your groceries (and speed up checkout), while another will take your luggage up to your hotel room, and a third specializes in food delivery. All are unlikely to show up in your home anytime soon—which might be a good thing, given how poorly things went when LG tried to demo its in-home Cloi robot assistant. And, on the bright side, you don't even have to tip. 📸: Amy Lombard | @amylombard

LG’s "TV Canyon" at #CES is a stunning visual experience. This 92-foot-long wall is made up of 246 OLED displays, all connected to create a sweeping view of nature. The experience is so powerful, some people clapped at the end.

The Raven H is a unique and versatile smart home device—it’s a speaker, a voice-activated assistant, and a touch-sensitive home entertainment remote, all in one brightly colored package. Raven is owned by Chinese web services giant Baidu, so when you talk to the little LED-dotted square on top, you’re interacting with DuerOS, Baidu’s rapidly growing AI platform. There’s just one tiny catch: You’ll need to talk to it in Chinese. Check out the link in our bio to see more of our favorite gadgets from @cesofficial (so far). 📸: Amy Lombard | @amylombard

Someday, all cars will have Alexa and 5G and the infotainment system of your dreams. Unfortunately, today is not that day. But Garmin's Speak Plus sure helps to bridge the gap. The Speak Plus plugs into your car's cigarette adapter, connects to your phone over Bluetooth, and sticks to your windshield. This round gizmo provides a dash cam, turn-by-turn navigation, and all of Alexa's many other skills—you can even connect it to your stereo and use your voice to control your music.

In his book 'Human Nature', photographer Lucas Foglia explores the varying ways nature impacts humans and humans impact nature—for better or worse. The Parkroyal on Pickering hotel in Singapore contains over 15,000 square meters of greenery, amounting to twice its land area. Among its other energy conservation features are the country's first solar powered sky gardens, rain harvesting, and recycled water.

Can you guess what this is? It's an alien rock, better known as a micrometeorite: a tiny bit of space rock that made it through the atmosphere to Earth. See more of these extraterrestrial stones at the link in our bio.

Astronaut John Young made his mark on history—and the moon—as one of the most accomplished astronauts out there. Here, he leaps in the moon's low gravity and salutes the American flag while commanding the Apollo 16 mission in April 1972. Rest in peace. 📸: Apollo 16 Lunar Module Pilot Charles Duke | @nasa

Even the hard categorizations and taxonomies of a natural history museum can't hide the beauty of the world. In his book 'Biophilia' (which means "love of life"), photographer and naturalist Christopher Marley presents a carefully chosen collection of specimens meant to perfectly complement each other.

With his drone in tow, Karolis Janulis ventures out in freezing conditions to capture gorgeous aerial photos of Lithuania. Dusted in white and viewed from above, even the most ordinary landscapes appear miniature and quaint, like the world within a snow globe.

Take a look at your phone. Where you might just see smudges and streaks—and an epidemiologist sees more germs than a toilet seat—Tabitha Soren sees art. In Soren's latest photo series, 'Surface Tension', she explores the idea that these smears map your digital journey through Twitter, Snapchat, and countless other apps. “The grime is more than residue,” Soren says. “It’s a map of where we’ve been and what we’ve done.” To see more beautifully blurred photography, visit the link in our bio. 📸: Tabitha Soren | @tabithasoren
